UK Online Harms
UK has published details of its “online harms” legislation which is being framed as to protect free expression (choke), democracy, children and reign in Facebook, but is about as totalitarian as you can get. It also entrenches the dominant position of tech giants, while forcing them to do the bidding of government in the form of Ofcom. (All UK regulators are a sham, from ICO and IPSO to FCA).
Ofcom, soon to be headed by ex Daily Mail editor Paul Dacre, will have Draconian powers to prevent services from providing e2e encrypted communications and to censor specific speech, including legal speech, and to force services to require “know your customer” style identification of all users, under the guise of age verification. Without that identification, users will be presumed under age, and subject to extreme censorship for their protection!
Here’s a short thread by Heather Burns of the Open Rights Group, and a longer one which she also subtweets by Matthew Lesh:

This alone is particularly chilling from a censorship and privacy violating perspective. We needed https://SafeNetwork.tech years ago, but if these measures pass Safe Network will rapidly become the new internet, since the old one will no longer exist as we know it.
The bill has only just been published so I’m sure there will be a lot more comment once the detail had been deciphered.
UK GP patient Records
I’ve also just seen this - government acting to take all your GP patient records and make them available to commercial companies for payment, without your consent and you have only six weeks to opt out, using a combination of methods, and no way to back out later.
And government have no plans to warn you about this, so don’t wait if you wish to keep your GP records out of the hands of unknown commercial companies.

There’s Huawei’s (CCP’s) “new IP” as well … east and west working to rebuild the Inet into a control grid I’m afraid.

This scares me. I fear the ‘protection’ that’s being offered.
I really don’t like the official lines, news stories, fed to the public through traditional media.
Controlled and scripted conversations, and that sort of thing…
The internet has given many people real freedom… of course, there have been some idiot groups
but that’s not the fault of the internet - that reflects on the quality of education a population receives.
Why should my access to information suffer because of other idiots, and also the quality of schooling a government provides.
If the taps turn of my alternative news sources and places of real insight - I would go crazy.
I don’t want government approved information sources for my own protection… It doesn’t feel
like it would be for my own protection.
An up and running SAFENetwork is more valuable than any value given to a SNT.
I’d be happy with a SNT stuck at $1.00 if we could keep freedom for the planet.
We need a safe place where we can challenge and laugh at authority.
I wouldn’t allow some random government worker to enter my front room to monitor and tell me and my friends and family what we can and can’t talk about… I won’t let them do it in the digital space either. Bring on the SAFENetwork.
UK Online Harms… Bet they still let The Daily Mail exists. ha.

Mafia’s run protection rackets … IMO, governments aren’t different - worse though as they have a monopoly.

Sounds like good news for Safe Network. A stifled and over regulated internet will never be able to compete with an open and free one.

I expect the definition of the word “extremism” will be subject to political whim.

I thought he was asking if doge should be accepted? That is proof of work too.

Does he remember tweeting this? Are we meant to believe he didn’t know the power usage of btc mining when he bought it?

Which is puzzling - why would he buy BTC then? - short-term pump and dump? - but he didn’t dump the whole purchase?

Yea right: claiming to be Satoshi and suing Bitcoin developers because they can’t/won’t retrieve Bitcoins (allegedly his) where they don’t know the private key of. By his logic: isn’t he suing himself? Being the developer who has designed it this way?

My guess is he had a personal stash of btc that has been well and truly dumped before that tweet. He will probably tweet next week the power usage wasn’t as bad as he thought
